THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, July 12, 1961 7] Woman Tells Of Life In Stalin's Russia By THE CANADIAN PRESS while astounded at the differ- them from discovery and pos- Once when Svetlana Gouzenko lence between pre-revolutionary was telling a dinner-table com- history and the Soviet version, panion about her illustrious Russian forbears, her husband Igor snorted: "She's noble--I am peasant." In her book Before Igor (British Book Service Canada Limited) she tells of her family and upbringing in Stalinist Rus- sia before she met the young architect who in 1945 exposed a Russian spy ring in Canada. Descended from the Polish patriot Tadeusz Kosciusko, Svetlana was born in Samark- and, the daughter of Boris Gou- sev, a mining engineer who had been disinherited because of his engagement to Anna Kos-| ciusko. | Her tale is that of any girl growing up in a happy, loving and educated family. It would seem alm ost inconsequential were it not told against the backdrop of the 1930s. Those were the years when a bungling bureaucracy allowed millions of Russians to starve, when Stalin brutally liquidated the middle- class Kulaks and purged high) and low functionaries for the, slightest deviation from the| entered with honors the Insti- was careful to follow the ac- cepted line in her homework. So she progressed until she tute of Architecture where she met Igor, the son of a poor Donbas school-teacher. "I could not know then that| fate would tie us together for years to come, and that our lives would be full of terror, tragedy -- and happiness-- known," she writes. Her book ends with her meet- ing with Gouzenko, and leaves untold the story of their flight sible Communist vengence. . ..Margaret Laurence of Vancouver, at a dinner of the Canadian Authors Asso" ciation in Toronto, was pre" 'sented with a prize of $1,000, the Beta Sigma Phi award, for the best first novel by a Canadian. It was for This Side Jordan, published in November, 1960 (McClelland and Stewart). Mrs. Lau- rence on that occasion alsd" received the President's Medal of the University of Western Ontario for the best short story by a Canadian, Gourdful of Glory, from Russian secret police agents in Ottawa with an arm- ful of incriminating documents stolen from the Soviet Embassy where Igor worked as a war- time cipher clerk. Turned over to the RCMP, these documents bared the spy ring. The Gouzenkos and their chil- dren now live somewhere in Eastern Canada under false names, their past and their identity hidden by a history in- |vented by the RCMP to protect J. W. Anderson is one of the [few left with experience to write |a first-hand account of life as a fur trader in the Canadian North half a century ago. In his book Fur Trader's Story (Ryerson Press), Ander- son displays almost total recall lof the events following his de- parture from Aberdeen, Scot- land, as a lad of 17, for the 39-day voyage to Charlton Is-| land. | Communist party line. GRIEF OF MILLIONS In one passage, when Svei-| lana relates the misfortunes that might happen in any family, she writes: "Only on growing up did I begin to realize that my sor- rows had been very significant in comparison to the grief of millions exiled, shot and dying of famine in that terrible 1932." Svetlana was one of the lucky Russians of t ico io. Her father's assignments took the family from far-east Turkestan to the Ukraine, from the Cri- mea to Murmansk. They lived in relative prosperity. But the shadow of the NKVD was never far even from the An attack of typhoid saved Gou- sev from a wave of executions that wiped out many of his col- leagues in the commissariat of heavy industry in Moscow. Father Gousev refused to join the Communist party, pleading ignorance of politics. Once he told his children: "How history is being dis- torted! It seems that to gratify a cobbler from the Caucasian backwoods, all the great names are ignored and all revolutions are glorified."
